Commenting on the walk, Gillian said: “I'm delighted to be taking part in the Great British Dog walk with my two dogs Sonny and Lucy at Haddo.

"I am a huge believer in the value of trained dogs in assisting people from Therapets, to guide dogs to the incredible hearing dogs we are fundraising for with the walk.

"Hearing dogs can change a deaf person's life and the difference they make particularly with deaf children is inspiring.

"I am glad to be able to play a small part in raising awareness on how important it is we support Hearing Dogs Scotland in training puppies who can give independence and confidence to a deaf person.”
